I see. You did the "disable" but not the "remove". So, you clicked, "All
users of this PC use the same preferences and desktop.", but you did not
delete that Registry key or the Profiles\ folder. Could be-- EVERYTHING
that applies to Profiles will happen TWICE now, once inside & once
outside that folder. But I really don't know. Do a run of SpyBot, &
check the dates of it's two sets of files. It probably isn't SpyBot's
fault, though, if indeed you get two, but just the way Windows works. If
you get only one, I guess it's going to the Default Profile and not to
Profiles\.

I wonder what is in that folder...

1. "START, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt"
2. DIR /s /a /on C:\Windows\Profiles
3. Use the "MARK", outline with mouse, "COPY" button to post it.

| As far as SpyBot, I'm just not sure I want it back.
